Question 625672: find the distance between (-1,4) and (-6,16). round the answer to nearest hundreth, if nessecary
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

d = sqrt((-6-(-1))^2+(16-4)^2)

d = sqrt((-6+1)^2+(16-4)^2)

d = sqrt((-5)^2+(12)^2)

d = sqrt(25+144)

d = sqrt(169)

d = 13

So exact distance between the two points is 13 units.
